There are no accessory packages for this product, but we're working on it. Please call us for details about accessory packages for this product.
Panasonic Optical Technology
The HPX250's high-performance 22x zoom lens was designed specifically for professional HD video production. Sharing the wide-angle capability found in the DVX and HVX series, the lens offers some additional telephoto capability for a 28-616mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range. The lens combines 18 elements in 12 groups and adds an ultra-high refractive (UHR) glass element, a low-dispersion element, and aspheric elements. Unique to Panasonic, Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) technology minimizes color bleeding in the surrounding image and achieves rich expression by way of finely rendered nuances and excellent shading
Manual Control Rings
Three manual rings – mechanical (cam-driven) zoom, focus, and iris – allow you to operate as if you've got an interchangeable-lens camcorder, for fine, tactile control over the parameters of the captured image
Optical Image Stabilization
To compensate for any shaking of the operator's hand, the HPX250 features an optical image stabilizer (OIS)
High-Sensitivity, Low-Noise 3MOS Image Sensor
Thanks to Progressive Advanced Processing (PAP) technology, high sensitivity up to F10 (F11 in 50 Hz mode) is possible, for low-noise performance in dimly lit environments. The 1/3-type 2.2 Mp 3MOS sensor features the same Ultra Luminance Technology (ULT) that's incorporated in Panasonic's shoulder-mount P2 HD broadcast camcorders. This sensor maximizes the performance of the lens and the signal processing circuit in standard conditions
Flash Band Compensation
The CMOS sensor system uses a rolling shutter system that sequentially scans each line of pixels, thereby lowering power consumption vs. CCD cameras and enabling high-speed drive. But because the exposure timing differs for each line, when an external flash is used, it tends to produce images with a "divided" level of brightness from top to bottom. The HPX250 ameliorates this "flash-band effect": it detects by comparing frame pairs and compensates to adjust the level
20-Bit Digital Signal Processor
The AG-HP250's high-performance 20-bit DSP handles rendering processes such as gamma and detail-enhancement functions with uncommon precision
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
The DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights in scenes that involve wildly varying contrast levels (such as indoor vs. outdoor elements in the same frame). DRS estimates a gamma curve and knee slope to match the contrast of each pixel and applies them in real time, producing excellent gradation for each shade and minimizing blocked shadows and blown highlights
Seven-Mode Gamma for Rich Gradation
Drawing upon the technology of the high-end VariCam line, the HPX250 features gamma functions for seven shooting scenarios, including two cinema modes: HD NORM (for standard HD recording), LOW (flattens out a high-contrast scene); SD NORM (for standard SD recording); HIGH (softens contrast and expands the tone of dark parts, making an image brighter); B.PRESS (sharpens the contrast compared to LOW); CINE-LIKE D (prioritizes dynamic range); and CINE-LIKE V (prioritizes contrast)
Other Camera Image Settings
The camera's shutter speed is variable from 1/6 to 1/2000 second, plus there's a Synchro Scan function. As with gamma, matrix setting includes a Cine-Like mode. H

Splunk's big data business is growing worldwide and has yet to experience any slowdown from "fiscal cliff" fears, Godfrey Sullivan, chairman and CEO of the company, said Friday on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."
"We had revenue growth in all three geographies, Asia, Europe and the Americas, all above 60 percent. So we have actually seen strength all over the world," Sullivan said. "We haven't seen too much reaction on the cliff."
Splunk reported earnings of six cents a share on revenue of $52 million, up 67 percent from reported revenue a year ago. The company also gained 350 new enterprise customers in the quarter and saw revenues from licensing climb about 50 percent, Sullivan said.
Splunk's growth, like many other companies, could be negatively impacted if Congress doesn't come up with a plan to keep the US government from going over the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts that hit at the end of the year.
"If taxes go up significantly, I would suspect that would have a contractionary force," he said.
However, Sullivan said if Congress does pass even a bare-bones plan to avoid the fiscal cliff, he doesn't think corporations will feel a significant impact.
"I don't think it will have an immediate impact," Sullivan said. "I don't think it's going to have much impact on corporate spend...I don't think there is too much impact on corporate decision making."

Drs. Oz and Roizen: Bedwetting can be managed with these tipsQ: I have a 75-year-old mother and a 5-year-old son – and both of them are wetting the bed. Double help! – Jean F., Boise, Idaho
By: Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Mike Roizen, M.D, INFORUM
Q: I have a 75-year-old mother and a 5-year-old son – and both of them are wetting the bed. Double help! – Jean F., Boise, Idaho
A: Bed-wetting and incontinence are challenging problems for both those experiencing the trouble and the caretaker – YOU. Fortunately, with a little work, both conditions can be managed pretty well.
Your son is only 5, and occasional bed-wetting is common up to age 7; about 20 percent of 5-year-olds can't always stay dry at night. They may not have fully developed bladder control mechanisms, or they're not producing enough of the hormone vasopressin, which reduces urine production at night. Rarely is bedwetting a sign of illness.
Your best bet is:
Use absorbent pads and underwear at night.
Eliminate all caffeine-containing drinks (colas, for example).
Make sure he urinates regularly during the day and right before bed.
You also can use a moisture alarm that will wake him at the first sign of dampness. In six to 12 weeks he may begin to recognize the feeling that he has to go and wake himself up.
For many older folks, incontinence is a problem. (In Japan, diaper sales for older folks exceed diaper sales for infants.) When it happens at night, it's usually from an overactive bladder – and leakage can happen with or without the sensation that you gotta go. Some medications trigger OAB, as can neurological disease, injury or infection, but much of the time the cause is unknown. Fortunately, there are potential solutions.
Your mom can try pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegels) and bladder retraining to increase her ability to hold in urine.
Medications are effective. Check with her doc and ask about oxybutynin, which inhibits nerve impulses that cause leakage, and darifenacin, which reduces muscle spasms of the bladder and urinary tract.
For severe cases, Dr. Mike's Cleveland Clinic suggests Interstim – a therapy that uses an implanted electrical stimulator to control the nerve that triggers urination; 76 percent of folks see significant improvement, and 52 percent see the end of leakage.
Q: When I had my hip replacement, I found out everything I could about the doctor, the hospital, the implant and the procedure before I had it done. A friend of mine who also got a new hip never even found out what kind of implant she was getting. Now she's having trouble, while I'm back to running around with no problems. Could just knowing what's going on have made the difference for me? – Terry H., New York
A: Knowledge is power, and when it comes to knowledge about your body and your medical treatments, it's the power to stay healthy! We know that if you're more knowledgeable about procedures before and after surgery, get a second opinion and search for the most competent doctor for any significant treatment or surgery, you'll have better health outcomes.
We realize some people are afraid to hear about surgical details, but it turns out the more informed you are, the more positive your attitude will be. And a positive attitude translates to better healing and rehabilitation. Also, eagerness to know what's happening is a clue that you're good at managing your day-to-day health – and that's been shown to lower health care costs.
As for your friend, we're sorry she is having trouble, but it's never too late to get proactive about wellness. Let her know that she can do a lot to make herself feel better and encourage her to become better informed. Help her write out a list of questions for her surgeon, primary care doctor and physical therapist (she does have one, doesn't she?). Suggest that she go to a reputable website (we like ours: ClevelandClinic.org and NewYorkPresbyterian.org) to find out about hip replacements. She can catch up on all the latest info, and that should make her feel more confident and more engaged the next time she goes in for a checkup or if she needs repair of her previous surgery.
Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of "The Dr. Oz Show," and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic. Email your health and wellness questions to Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen at youdocsdaily(at sign)sharecare.com.

Your may not be together with your family when a disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance. Ask yourself these question:
How will you get to a safe place?
How will you contact one another?
How will you reunite?
What will you do in different situations?
With the hustle and bustle in our daily lives, it is important to inquire about emergency plans at places where your family spends a lot of their time, such as at work, daycare and school, faith organizations, sports events etc. Talk to community leaders, your colleagues, neighbors and members of faith or civic organizations about how you can work together in the event of an emergency.
Do you have a family member that has unique needs that may need assistance during an emergency, and perhaps lives on the other side of town? If so, talk to their neighbors or loved ones and make plans on who can assist them if you can not reach them. Same thing if you have a neighbor that may be elderly and alone and might need assistance, but doesn't have any family close to assist. Make contact with your neighbor and others in the neighborhood to make a plan to assist if an emergency happens.
You will be better prepared to safely reunite your family and loved ones during an emergency if you think ahead and communicate with others in advance.

Oracle Event Driven Architecture
Today's leading organizations are extending their applications to incorporate business events to achieve real-time analysis and response. However, hand-coding applications for event processing requires complex development skills and often fails to achieve business agility. Oracle's Event-Driven Architecture Solution provides companies across a range of industries – including financial services, telecommunications, retail, government and manufacturing – the ability to become a real-time enterprise, enabling the build, deployment and management of event-driven architectures through a pre-integrated toolset of event processing technologies.
Oracle's Event-Driven Architecture Solution is comprised of best-in-class Oracle Fusion Middleware components and complements the service-interaction model of SOA, providing infrastructure to manage both simple event-based interactions and more complex event analysis for pattern matching in real-time. It combines a lightweight, java application container for complex event processing with fully JEE compliant applications for service bus and business activity monitoring functionality deployed to standard java servers including Oracle WebLogic Suite. It consists of (i) a Complex Event Processing (CEP) engine to handle a high throughput of events with extremely low latency and evaluate patterns in event data; (ii) a Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) solution to define and monitor events and event patterns that occur throughout an organization; (iii) a Business Rules engine to capture, automate and flexibly change business policies; (iv) a Service Bus to connect applications and route messages; (v) Enterprise Messaging to reliable deliver event messages with configurable qualities-of-service; (vi) an integrated data grid technology to scale to enterprise-class event processing use cases; and (vii) the industry's leading high-performance java virtual machine to ensure deterministic garbage collection for high-throughput, low latency event processing on a java platform.
The Oracle Event-Driven Architecture Solution is a comprehensive, enterprise-class solution for creating, processing, and monitoring events and provides a flexible, declarative environment to rapidly build and adapt event-driven applications. Oracle EDA Suite improves an organization's ability to predict change by improving its visibility to happenings in the physical world and business environment in real time. It leverages existing investments by being modular, open, extensible and hot-pluggable; this eliminates the need to remove or replace existing systems as well as supporting incremental deployment and ROI. Finally it extends system and application performance with a lightweight, Java approach to event-driven application deployment.

The demonstration illustrates the ability of Oracle CEP to "detect missing events" where the absence of those events provides important insight into the ability to meet customer expectations and ensure future customer satisfaction. All missing bag events are detected and forwarded to Oracle Business Activity Monitoring and displayed on a dashboard. For a missing bag that doesn't make a flight, this unresolved situation triggers processing with Oracle BPM, where a business process is initiated for a human or automatic intervention.

Who is the most underrated quarterback in the NFL?
David Garrard, Jaguars....20%
Eli Manning, Giants....8%
Drew Brees, Saints....8%
Donovan McNabb, Eagles....7%
Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks....6%
[Based on a survey of 320 NFL players]
FAST FACTS: Players could not vote for a teammate.... Manning finished third in last week's poll, which asked, Who is the most overrated quarterback in the NFL?... Brees's successor in San Diego, Philip Rivers, led the overrated poll; in this underrated poll, QBs were partial to Brees, giving him 27.8% of their vote....Since 2004 the Jaguars are 22–13 in regular-season games that Garrard has started.
This is an NFL poll from the October 20, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated.
What's your take on this poll?

It has been a long road for the Resident Evil series. Since its debut in 1996, nearly 20 titles have been released within its universe. They have varied survival horror, to on-rails shooters, to all-out action. As of late the franchise making that transition to being an action game first and foremost; this isn't just about making you uneasy with a creepy atmosphere and traditional "scares" anymore. The experience is now focused on delivering an edge of your seat thrill ride that is as action-packed as it is frightening.
The last console entry in the series,
Resident Evil 5
, painted a bold vision for the franchise. The controls were shaken up a bit and a heavy focus was placed on including a partner in the adventure, whether controlled by a friend or the computer. The idea of a multiplayer themed (cooperative) Resident Evil had fans salivating and excited for what was to come with Capcom's new vision. That was just the start though;as Capcom was not just looking in that new direction with Resident Evil 6, but headed that way at full speed. Resident Evil 6 is bigger, bolder, and more refined than its predecessor in every way. The small steps that Capcom took last time were baby steps compared to where this game goes, and the series is much better for it. If this is what Capcom has in mind from here on out, count me in for the ride.
The crux of the experience is still heavily focused on the narrative established by the campaigns. While I have always found the previous campaigns enjoyable, I never found them to promote multiple playthroughs; things are different with RE6. Instead of one massive, lengthy campaign, the game includes three distinct campaigns. We are talking about three self-contained, separate stories of five chapters each. Each one plays and feels different than the others. The Leon/Helena campaign feels the closest to a traditional RE experience, consisting of a good balance between action and puzzles. That isn't to say, however, that the Leon/Helena campaign doesn't have its share of action injected into it, in line with Capcom's new vision of the series.
The other two, focusing on Jake/Sherry and Chris/Piers, are heavier on the gunplay. Whereas Leon is on a fact-finding mission, akin to classic RE campaigns, the other two put you into the action as members of military/mercenary forces equipped for battle. When you take it all into consideration, the entire experience does a good job delivering what's expected by both sides of the series' fanbase: those looking for an action game, and those looking for a classic, survival horror adventure. The three campaigns, although their own self-contained stories, all cross paths at some point and reference one another frequently.
The presentation style in each campaign also brings a new level of refinement to the series. Capcom has done a good job integrating the actual gameplay portions with the frequent cut scenes and cinematic events while eliminating a lot of load times (or at least masking them). Many of these are linked together using quick-time events (QTEs). You run into these when you are opening a reinforced door or are perhaps being overtaken by attacking zombies. While the game uses QTEs frequently, you never feel like it is dependent on them like other action games have been. QTEs are sprinkled in along the way to keep you involved in the action, even when you don't have total control. Some people may be turned off by the frequency at which the game switches between actual gameplay sessions and instances of engine-driven cut scenes, but I found them to hold together the overall experience well. It all feels like more of an interactive story in the manner that it has been pieced together and it made things more enjoyable in the long run.
There are some drastic changes that have been made to the gameplay that have helped the game evolve to better fit into the action genre. As I said previously, the experience has moved beyond being all about slow-moving and atmospheric gameplay. While there is still a heavy horror element to the world this is officially an action game at heart. This is evident in many places but most notably in the interface and weapon controls.
RE6 gives you more control over your character than any of the previous games. You no longer feel like a slow-moving tank; while you still lack total control like a third-person adventure game, you no longer have to find a safe place to stop and search through your inventory or draw your weapon and take aim at enemies. Now you can do all of this on the fly; aiming and firing your weapon while moving is something that the game has needed desperately from the start. Just because it is here, however, doesn't mean that it is perfect. Moving with your weapon drawn is still incredibly slow, and you can't draw and shoot during a full sprint. However, it does feel worlds ahead of the vintage controls that RE has used for over a decade.
Thankfully, the evasive options have improved immensely. You can now dive and roll out of trouble, and even into shooting position when times call for it. If you turn around and see an ax flying at your head, a simple press of a button triggers a forward dive-roll, landing in a prone position, your weapon drawn and ready to engage. This really makes you feel like you have a lot more control than ever before.
Inventory management has been tweaked and feels more streamlined and accessible. Most of the usable items that you collect, such as first aid spray or auxiliary weapons like grenades or bombs, can be equipped in the middle of action using the directional pad. It's easy to switch your arsenal on the run, eliminating any need to find a safe haven and bring the action to a complete halt before doing so. It is also worth noting that the ability to convert herbs into tablets and assign them to the right bumper for quick consumption helps speed things up as well. They tried to do some of this in the last game but it didn't feel as well done. It feels so good, in fact, I wonder why it took them so long to implement them because it could have drastically improved the last couple of games.
While the last couple of games had you collect money to upgrade weapons and equipment, RE6 implements a skill point system. Defeating certain enemies leave small tokens that correspond to the enemy difficulty; the more difficult the bad guy, the more skill points they are worth. Following the completion of each chapter, these points are spent on skills that can be placed into a variety of slots on your character. These skills range from increasing defense or the amount of ammunition you can hold, to giving you health boosts and increasing the number of items dropped by enemies. There are a bunch of options here, and keen players will tailor their characters more to their preferred play styles. It is a nice new feature that gives the game a bit of an RPG feel..
Once you have finished with the various campaigns, there is still more to do this time around. Capcom packed in two separate online modes to breathe new life into the game after the main storylines have been completed. As fans have come to expect with the last couple of games, the Mercenaries mode returns which challenges players to rack up the best score possible in timed runs through different scenarios. There are stages and characters to be unlocked and online leaderboards to keep you in competition with your friends. A new mode called Agent Hunt Mode adds an interesting twist to the RE franchise; unlocked after completing the main game(s), you can actually take control of the bad guys in another player's campaign. It is an interesting concept that can (thankfully) be turned off prior to booting up your personal campaign.
While the game plays great, it looks and sounds even better. On the sound side of things, I highly recommend using a true surround sound system. There are a ton of details in the game's audio that greatly enhance the experience. Capcom has done an excellent job using sound to enrich the environment just as much as the visuals do; be it the creeping footsteps of a zombie, or J'avo hiding around a corner, or that bottle falling off a shelf that scares you while you are investigating a laboratory. Things like this are not noticeable when playing the game using standard stereo signals. I played through using a Triton Warhead headset; there was only one time that I tried it without them, using my television's standard audio, and the audible experience was night and day. You miss out on so many details that it should be considered a crime to play the game without full surround.
The game looks awesome, too, but some of the same visual issues that have haunted the series for years still rear their ugly heads this time around. As detailed and vivid as the environments are, it is still clear that your character exists on top of the world rather than a part of it. Great steps have been taken to make the world around you more interactive, such as your ability to leap over almost every desk and rail, but things as simple as moving along still appear awkward. This is perhaps most notable when climbing or descending stairs; it still looks as if the character models are moonwalking, sliding from place to place. It is a shame, too, because other details are present such as the ability to trip on bodies or objects lying around. When that happens it looks great, but when you walk across an empty room or go down a set of stairs it looks like you are walking on air. This is a nitpick but something that has always bothered me about the series.
At the end of the day, Resident Evil 6 ends up being a stellar package. There is a lot to do with or without your friends. The smaller, multiple campaigns make it more prone to being replayed numerous times; the lack of replayability was an issue that I always had with the game in the past. Capcom has done a great job integrating the gameplay and story into a more complete package, almost akin to what was done with
Asura's Wrath
. The online integration that comes with RE6 seamlessly integrated into the experience; allowing or having someone join your game while you are playing happens without halting your game, which is nice. It is also just as easy to join up with someone else online. There are a couple of issues that still haunt the series, including the lack of full movement control and that characters still seem to float over the backgrounds (visually, particularly on stairs). Great progress has been made to balance the levels of action and horror, making this one of the most enjoyable RE experiences to date.

Class Leading
The vision that Capcom had for the series with RE5 has finally come to fruition with Resident Evil 6. The game is bigger, better, and the overall experience is more varied than anything Capcom has done under the RE banner yet. The refinements made to the controls and gameplay help the transition to an action-focused series, but there is some room for improvement. As it currently stands, though, this is a great experience, especially with friends.

Luminance HDR offers top-notch high dynamic range imaging
More Light
Processing images with a high dynamic range – that is, an image with a wide range of values between its bright and dark areas – is possible with open source Luminance HDR.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) image processing is a state-of-the-art technology that, in the right hands, qualifies as an art form. The images this method creates are characterized by a wide range of brightness, an amazing level of detail, and – sometimes – striking colors. Many methods, with many parameters, control the precise results. The open source program Luminance HDR [1] groups these methods in a front end; however, despite really good software, you still need a good deal of expertise to achieve impressive results. Luminance is the successor to QtPFSGui [2], a Qt4 user interface for creating HDR images.
The human eye can see many more, and in some cases finer, differences in brightness than a digital camera. HDR images can compensate for this partly, but the way we perceive these images is vastly different. A special problem arises when presenting HDR images. Both computer screens and printers have limited capability when it comes to portraying brightness differences naturally. For example, today's typical LCD monitors resolve around 256 levels of brightness for each channel (red, green, blue; 8 bit), and printers even fewer levels, which explains why many image formats – led by JPEG – only support 8 bits per color channel by default.
Digital images of this kind are known as Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images. Most image manipulation programs were developed for these images – GIMP can currently only process LDR images today. However, the KDE image manipulation program Krita [3] is an exception to the rule.

Governor appoints Humphrey to Tennessee Board of Regents
- For the third time in four years, the governor has appointed a TTU student to the Tennessee Board of Regents.
- Senior accounting major Ashley Humphrey will give a voice to the more than 200,000 students in the TBR system.
Senior accounting major Ashley Humphrey will take the seat on the Tennessee Board of Regents recently held by two other Tennessee Tech University students.
Gov. Bill Haslam appointed the Soddy Daisy native to the board, replacing TTU senior Lee Gatts, who held the position last year. She will give a voice to the more than 200,000 students in the TBR system.
"The Board of Regents governs a majority of the public higher education institutions in Tennessee, and the fact that so few students know that makes me nervous," Humphrey said. "Students need to know they have a voice in how their school is run."
"Students communicate in a variety of ways. Social networking is becoming increasingly important to my generation, and it's something I'm really passionate about."
In addition to wanting to work to improve communication between students and the Board of Regents, Humphrey wants to try to improve communication between the universities, community colleges and technology centers in the system.
"If we see something working really well on one campus, we should determine the feasibility of implementing that idea at other institutions," she said. "We're sister schools; we need to work together."
Humphrey is the third TTU student to hold the position in four years. Sean Ochsenbein held it in 2009-2010.
Haslam appointed Humphrey to the 18-member board at the end of August. She will hold the position until the summer of 2013.
In addition to her duties as student regent, she is the vice president of the TTU Student Government Association, a TTU President's Ambassador, a campus tour guide and a member of the Kappa Delta sorority. She is an intern at Cravens and Company Wealth Management in Cookeville, and she served on the advisory committee for the TTU presidential search earlier this year. After graduation, she plans to pursue a master's degree in business administration.
She is the daughter of Eugene and Sharyl Smith and a 2009 graduate of Soddy Daisy High School.
The TBR is the nation's sixth largest higher education system. It includes six universities, 13 two-year colleges and 27 technology centers, and offers programs in 90 of Tennessee's 95 counties. The board is comprised of representatives of each of Tennessee's congressional districts and grand divisions and has one student and one faculty regent.

|Waterloo Police Investigate Suspicious Incidents
|Sunday, 13 November 2011 22:44
On Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 5:06PM, Waterloo Police were sent to the 1100 block of Wallgate Ave regarding a suspicious item found under a camper. Officers called the Waterloo Police Bomb Squad to examine the item and determined that it was equipment used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine that had been discarded. Officers of the Tri-County Drug Task Force safely disposed of the item.
On Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 8:17PM, Waterloo Police received a 911 call reporting that a bomb was located at East High School. School employees and police officers checked the interior and exterior of the school building and found nothing suspicious. It was determined that the report was a fraud. Activities at the school were not interrupted by the incident.
Police are conducting an investigation to determine the identity of the person responsible for making the threat.

It could be a porous cast fitting or a valve (don't trust the stuff from China!, but it could happen from anywhere) and not in the threaded connection.

No, the characters in NA are not all that important to me.
I really want to say yes but really can't comprehend that if we can get these in a sub why can't we just get them in the club sub? Why start breaking all these lines off when it is all MOTU? Unless this is gonna be a preorder matched kind of thing then I do say yes, if not just make the figures and stop breaking it all off. By the time we're done with all these extra subs. And I don't know if many see it, but these months are gonna cost way more realized and that will be the next backlash.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
Not only would I sub but I would buy two subs!
Mattel I demand the following:
Spinwit,Spinnerella, The Scientists, Rio Blast, Mara, Crita, Kayo, Mermista,
My Facebook, check it out!
Wish List: Eldor, Skeleton Warriors, King Argho, Horde Wraiths, Kobolds, Prahvus, Lord Masque, Rock Monster, Gen. Tartaran, Evil Seed, Carnivorous Plant, Lizard-Man, Hawke, Crimson Fury, Melaktha, Spinwit, Ra-Jarr, Kelclar, King Miro, Dare, Missile-Toe, Sh'gora, Vizar, Harpy, ABC Giants, Lodar, Dragoon, Darius, Negator, Masks of Power Demons, Slob-Boar, Bubblor, Three-Beast, Nocturna
I agree with both of you. I was loving this line back when it first started. A couple figures here and there. Then they started coming monthly.
Now there are just too many figures coming out and too many subs to be part of. I guess with Grayskull it feels like I joind three subs this year because of the price point. On top of that I have to keep up with any non-sub figures coming out too.
The line has become cumbersome and costly to collect without giving up way too many other things I want to spend my money on.
In Midwinter, the heat from the oven baking my Shrinky Dinks is all I need!
Yep I would. In fact, I think it needs to happen just to catch up the NA faction. Even something as small as a four figure sub would help out a lot.
Vintage NA for MOTUC!! LET'S GO~~
MOTUC wants: Spinnerella, Angella, Mermista, Perfuma, Peekablue, Kayo, Darius, Drissi, Sebrian, Crita, Hoove, Mara, Staghorn, Crystoll, Quakke, B.H., Lizzor, Lord Masque, Chef Allen, Tung Lashor, Sssqueeze, Clawdeen, Granita, Hunga, the Twiggets, Meteorbs
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon
**Staunch FILMation Subscription supporter!!! **** NEEDS a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
I voted...YES! I just started watching NA and collecting the figures. I have to say I'm enjoying them highly. The show is growing on me...especially since disc 5 of vol. 1. I really like the figure designs. I MUST have a Quakke and Butthead. I would definitely buy a NA sub if given the chance.
Definitely yes.
Seriously hope this happens !! Go NA!!!
No, the characters in NA are not all that important to me.

Glory Days 2 is one of those games that you've never heard of that reaches up, grabs you, and takes hold of you for a little while. I was contacted before the game was released last week and asked to check the game out. I figured it would be something cool to check out but something that I would pass on to Sean "Lord of the DS" Colleli. The game came in and I played it for a bit, then played it a little more, and then started playing it more and more and soon got hooked on the game.
Glory Days 2 is an interesting action/strategy hybrid. The action part of the game has you providing air cover for your ground units and the strategy part involves you picking which units you will send out against the enemy. It's an interesting mix that takes some getting used to as you have to learn how to fly your plane/helicopter and dispatch units at the same time. The simple controls make this easy but as the action heats you I learned that making troop selections is best done while you are stationary (it's a lot like talking on the cel phone while driving).
When I say strategic don't expect to be plotting out pincher movements or any kind of complex strategy. Rather the strategic element is determining which units you want to deploy and how far you space them from each other. Spacing is important because the battlefield is just a single line. On the right side of the line is your base with the enemy forces entrenced on the left side of the line. Located between the two bases are several command bunkers which you can capture with infantry. It is important to capture the bunkers as they generate revenue for which you can use to purchase more infantry and vehicles to wage war with. You can bomb occupied bunkers to prevent the enemy from gainign revenue from them but you need infantry to convert them to your side. Another source of revenue is to pick up the civilians that are trying to escape the war zone with giant wads of ill gotten cash. I don't know if that's really the case but that's the fiction I created for the little blue shirted people that I have to rescue. Of course you can only pick up the civilians if you're flying the helicopter as picking them up in a plane would be messy. This part of the game is very reminiscent of Choplifter, except now you have guns, bombs, and missiles to defend yourself with.
The key to Glory Days 2 is learning to manage these two elements. You are constantly flying to the frontline to take out enemies, drop off troops, pick up civilians, and then flying back to re-arm/re-pair your vehicle . Later on in the game you can deploy mobile re-arming units but it's not until much later in the game. To make life easier on you teh game uses both DS screens to give you a picture of the battle. The top DS screen shows where you are in the battlefield while the lower screen shows what is going on at the front line or if something of interest is happening. While it's hard to watch both screens while you are engaged in combat you can quickly glance down at the lower screen to see if something needs your attention or not.
The single player side of the game features 16 missions and tells the story of several different pilots as they progress through the wars. Between the missions you get letters home from each of the pilots which provide the narrative for the game. The letters are a little on the schmaltzy side but do a good job of providing some context for what you are doing. Over the course of the 16 missions you'll get new weapons and aircraft as you move from WWII era aircraft to modern day aircraft. The difficulty does ramp up pretty quickly as you get new units and get new challenges thrown at you but it never gets overly frustrating. Most missions will take a few tries to get through and are fairly enjoyable to play through.
The pace of the game varies depending on if you're flying a jet or a helicopter. Personally I liked flying the helicopter more than the jet as there are things you can do with it than with the jet as it's a little easier to bomb someone when you are hovering over them versus flying over them. Plus there's the whole side of being able to pick up and drop off troops and rescuing the civilians that you can't do in the jet. Of course the slower aircraft tends to absorb more anti-aircraft fire but that's one of the few disadvantages of the helicopter. The game does give you a good selection of weapons. Besides bombs, missiles, and a machine gun you have access to a few "super-weapons" which allow you to carpet bomb an area, drop in troops, or launch a somewhat controllable missile. You have to be careful with the carpet bombing and missile options as you have to be sure that you don't hit your own troops with the weapons.
One thing I really liked about Glory Days 2 is that the game provides you with two different ways to control the game. You have a traditional d-pad control scheme as well as one that utilizes the touch screen to fly. Personally I prefer the d-pad scheme as it leaves both screens visible and you can hold the DS comfortably while play but the other control scheme works just as well for those who feel the need to use the touch pad. I wish more companies would offer this option as sometimes it's just nice to play a game without having to bust out the d-pad.

United Illuminating announced at 6:20 a.m. on Thursday morning that its projection for restoring 95 percent of customers without power was midnight on Monday, Nov. 5.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said at Wednesday's news briefing that he would hold UI and CL&P — the state's largest power company — accountable for meeting their projections.
At the height of the outages from Hurricane Sandy, more than 200,000 UI customers lost power. About 108,000 electric customers are still without it on Thursday morning.
As of 7:34 a.m. today, Nov. 1, 2,605 customers in Hamden are still without power—that's 10% of the town.
"We are proceeding full force to restore power to our customers as quickly and safely as possible," said James P. Torgerson, chief executive officer of UIL Holdings. "Our damage assessment, safety inspection and road clearing crews have been working around the clock to pave the way for line and service crews to restore power.
"Restoration crews already have restored electric service to approximately 92,340 customers who lost power during the storm. While damage assessment will continue, we are confident that we have gathered enough information to effectively allocate our resources where they are needed most to restore power."
Anthony J. Vallillo, UI president and chief operating officer, said:
"We fully understand that the loss of electricity seriously disrupts people's lives, and we have tapped into every resource at our disposal to restore electric service to all of our customers safely and as quickly as possible. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we recover from the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, one of the most powerful storms to ever hit our region."
UI also issued these reminders:
- Assume downed, damaged or dangling power lines are live and dangerous.
- Avoid anything in which these power lines might be in contact, such as trees or fences.
- Keep children and pets indoors and away from danger.
- Be mindful of the smell of natural gas.

Kobe on Rondo "You don't want Rondo? Send him my way,"
|Posted by shawn cassidy on February 7, 2013 at 1:05 AM
I hate the Lakers, and not in any small kind of way. It's like what Cedric Maxwell said about the Lakers."There was a time, if I saw a Laker on fire and I was holding a glass of water, I'd drink the water," said Maxwell. Through the years I had a dislike for Kobe. I have learned to respect Kobe, and he made it easier with his respect for Rondo.
"You don't want Rondo? Send him my way," Kobe declared. "I love everything about him. Everything. I love his attitude, I love his chippiness, his edge, his intellect, his know-it-allness. All of it. That's what makes championship players.
"What guard have you seen at his size that will get you 18 assists, 17 boards and 20 points all in one game? That's unheard of. I love that kid. I always make a point of talking to him during All-Star [Weekend]. He's one of my favorites."
I think Kobe understands Rondo. They both have a fire to win, and maybe Kobe gets that.
So who would Kobe rather be right now: a Laker or a Celtic?
"I'd take the Lakers, for sure," Kobe answered. "Honestly, I like where we are. I like the pieces we have. We're still a pretty big team. If we get our guys healthy, I think we can make a significant run at it.
"So I'll take my guys. And, even if I felt differently, I'm such a die-hard Lakers fan I'd never admit to wanting to be them," meaning the Celtics.
Is it good to be any team right now? I would have to disagree. With the Lakers out of the playoffs at this point, and time. Plus add on that Gasol may miss the last two months of the season, and Howard has been hurt. The Lakers are running on fumes.

He backed up his guys as the leader of the team, and showed a lot of respect for Rondo.
I like the way he sees him. It looks like he can see a lot of things that celtics fan just can't see.
Morena says...
Much respect for Kobe for this interview.
He backed up his guys as the leader of the team, and showed a lot of respect for Rondo.
I like the way he sees him. It looks like he can see a lot of things that celtics fan just can't see.
I agree Morena. Its a genuine respect coming from Kobe. He was one of the guys who tweeted about Rajon. U know Kobe wished he had Rondo over Howard.
But right now? These Cs look like contenders. As much as I hate them, as much as I don't like how this all happened, how suddenly everyone is playing the way they should have played before, it's great that it's finally happening. They are a real Celtics team. I don't like them, but I recognize the achievement.
So I'd take the Cs now, easily.
Another part of it for Kobe, I think, is that he knows what it is like to have your teammates turn on you.

As we approach the release of the 22nd and final volume of MOME, this weekend I happened to read four recent tomes that assured me that the anthology format is alive and well, present company excepted. BLACK EYE is a remarkably well-curated and lovingly packaged book by editor Ryan Standfest, featuring a host of top notch cartoonists including some MOME regulars including Al Columbia, Olivier Schrawuen, Robert Goodin, Lilli Carré, and many others. SMOKE SIGNALS is the awesome tabloid newspaper produced by Gabe Fowler of Brooklyn's Desert Island Comics; it continues to get better and better and would be worth it for new Gerald Jablonski comics alone, but there's a slew of other great stuff as well (I particularly enjoyed seeing a great, new one-pager by Marcellus Hall). LINEWORK is a relatively new endeavor, the official anthology of the cartooning students of Columbia College in Chicago, as overseen by faculty advisor Ivan Brunetti. One of the students, Nick Drnaso, also contributes to the final volume of MOME. I recommend all three of these titles to anyone eager to explore the nooks and crannies of the contemporary comix scene.
Comics fans know Conor O'Keefe best for his contributions to MOME, but his primary artistic focus is as a painter of iconography in his adopted home of the Republic of Georgia. Check out his new website devoted to these paintings.
It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, the big four-zero, and I thought I'd share this awesome little card given to me by my old pals, Peter & Joanne Bagge. Pete drew it, and in true Bagge tradition, Joanne colored it:
On behalf of everyone at Fantagraphics, let me be the first to congratulate our own Jacob Covey and his beautiful wife, Liz, on the birth of their new baby daughter, Maren, who joined the ranks of the world yesterday morning. Mom, baby, and even daddy and big sister Freya are doing well. Much love from your Fantagraphics family, Coveys.
My old pal, Stevie Knight a.k.a. "Ribs" Weissman, seemed a bit sheepish when he first suggested contributing a series of Guns 'n' Roses-related strips to MOME 22. I would have liked to think he knew me better than that. I mean, c'mon, Steven, you had me at "Appetite for Delicatessen."
What's particularly odd is that Weissman is one of two MOME regulars who independently decided that Vol. 22 would be the right time to get their Axl Rose on. More on that later...
With only one issue left to put together, I knew going into MOME 22 that I had to make a last-ditch effort to fit in a few cartoonists that I'd been meaning to reach out to for while. Count Chuck Forsman on that list. I've been enjoying Chuck's Snake Oil comics and others for a few years now, and as such was thrilled when he jumped at the chance to do something for the final hurrah. His story, "Francis," highlights one of Forsman's unique talents: a pitch-perfect ear and eye for the 1980s. Which is a bit weird for someone who wasn't even born until 1982.
At Comic-Con in July, we'll be debuting the 22nd and final volume of MOME (that's one-half of Zak Sally's beautifully elegant wraparound cover of the issue, above). It's a bittersweet thing for me, but I couldn't be happier about how the last issue -- at 240 pages, about twice as long as any previous issue -- turned out, so when Mike Baehr suggested I do something for Flog about it, it seemed like a no-brainer. And when I decided the best way to do so would be to post some teaser images from the issue, it took me about half a second to realize where to start: Kurt Wolfgang.
Kurt has been essentially the one constant in MOME from the very first issue (along with myself, I guess), and his main contribution, the ongoing "Nothing Eve," is pretty much the standard-bearer of the kind of work that MOME was specifically designed to midwife into the world, and one of the things I'm most proud to have published in its pages. The simple, dramatic idea behind it -- If you knew the world was ending tomorrow, how would you spend your last night? -- is really just a launching point for what is essentially a charmingly funny and character-driven piece about the way people relate to each other. Kurt resists melodrama every step of the way, and the work is so much better for it.
Also, more than just about any other serial I can ever remember reading in an anthology, "Nothing Eve" functioned perfectly as a serial. In addition to crafting a completely hilarious and compelling graphic novel, Kurt has an innate knack for breaking his story down into compelling chapters that function on their own. You could easily enjoy any chapter of "Nothing Eve" without ever having read another. That's not an easy feat, and regular MOME readers were given a better experience for it.
The bad news is that MOME is ending before "Nothing Eve" ends. The good news, however, is that when "Nothing Eve" is eventually published, it will be that much more satisfying a read.
The best news is that Kurt prepared an alternative, "final" chapter for MOME 22 that is just about my favorite thing I've ever published in MOME. So for those of you who've been following "Nothing Eve" since the beginning, you're going to be rewarded with something truly special that won't end up in the eventual collection.
I'm very reluctant to tip my hand any further, but let's just say, it's right about with this four-panel sequence that shit starts to get unreal:
You can't even begin to guess where things go from here, but trust me in that I promise you won't be disappointed.
Meanwhile, attendees of Lollapallooza 2008 are still looking for the comic book signing.
Via Showbiz Imagery & Chicanery , thanks for the tip to Grottu.
Over on Flickr, I've uploaded over 100 pics from my recent visit to Stockholm, Sweden, to attend the Swedish SPX Festival. I want to thank our hosts, especially Johannes Klenell of GALAGO and Kristiina Kolehmainen of the Stockholm SERIETEKET (that's "comics library" to you Yankees), for a wonderful trip. Five days in Sweden, hanging out with old pals like Dash Shaw (greatest roommate a guy could ask for), Gabrielle Bell, Brett Warnock, and others? It would have been impossible not to have a great time. Came home with a huge pile of great-looking comics (see the photo set for examples); now Kim Thompson gets to read them all for me! Oh, Kim, how I envy you.
